The Deconstructed Sketch No. 166

This card is for my younger sister whose birthday is coming up this Sunday... and then September is full of birthdays in my family... I think there is one every week!

I used the Brushed stamp set by Avery Elle. I first stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts Black dye ink on watercolor paper, then inked up the brush stroke stamps in Tim Holtz Distress Inks {Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers} and spritzed them with water before pressing them onto the paper. I then took my black watercolor pencil and wet the tip with my water brush and flicked it over the top for the speckled look.
